Getting back to the first question, sludge on top of the piston, Oldfeller asked if the engine had been smoking during sudden acceleration and the answer is no. I think before I waste any more of your time with this question, I better take it apart and look in the hole more carefully and come up with an exact description of the "sludge", like maybe get some out on a Q-tip and smell it or taste it, or something. While I'm doing that, do you think I should open the valve gap for the exhaust .001 more than the intake? When I checked them that's the way it was so I made them both the same. Later I read that it's ok for the exhaust to be a tiny bit more open.

How about if you just go ahead and run it -- if you have no smoking and are using no oil you have no issue to be chasing.
It is possible for a recently started (just run for a minute) engine to make some condensation moisture (water is a combustion by-product) which would give you your "scraped mud" that you saw.
Run it, if you have any sort of issue it will show itself more clearly later on.

Exactly !
Now if the rod that you stick in the hole ever goes down to the crankshaft, then you have a problem !

I would put Sea Foam in the oil and gas to clean up the piston and engine.

Not everything that Bill says is right,...like running an engine w/o oil :'(, but I can't knock the "seafoam"!
Something fixed the carb problem on my 50 hp 4 stroke Merc, and at 8 bucks a can, I'd like to think it was the seafoam.
